OOC: Sorry, i was a bit busy the last few days myself.
IC:
Dak'ka was sat listening to this, it seemed that a battle was arising outside of the fleets and a new threat had been found. "I cannot relay any decisions now made by the regional governor in this sector, the situation is now worsened by a battle. I'm afraid that i therefore must leave and head back to the Republic Fleet, our standings in this conflict i cannot determine. I shall speak to you all shortly". Dak'ka couldn't decide anything from this point on, he was all but an advisor on Republic's Polices and making sure that other factions in the galaxy knew of this. But now, the situation had worsened and his advice did not matter any more, those above him, in the Senate and Fleet would decide what to do from here. With a respectful nod, him and his fellow advisors stood from the table and began to leave.
Meanwhile, the Republic Fleet remained stationary, while word from Dak'ka relayed the message that the transport would be returning soon. This was a difficult situation for the Republic, now they had to escort the transport through space which would be filled with laser fire, something which could trigger a reaction throughout ships on all sides and worsen the conflict into a declaration of war.

Weak minded fools. The Alliance sends a diplomat that is not capable of making an executive decision.Delso sat in is seat with the same Mandalorian elegance and pride as the Republic diplomats began to leave.
"Safe journey Dak'ka. It would be a shame for someone as "capable" as you to get caught up in the potential crossfire." Delse finished in a half truth, but he spoke with a convincing tone.
"You honorable representatives from the remnant are welcome to stay here until this situation is green. Accomodations will be made for you. I assure you...you are much safe here."

"I was a mere passenger on the last vessel that you "collected" upon. That captian was under Galactic Alliance pay otherwise the Jedi Council would not have allowed me to use it as transportation. So tell me Overlord Zorko, if you believe so much in what the Alliance stands for, then why did you attack, plunder, and kill the members of those freighters. I think the alliance would react poorly to such conduct, as would the jedi."
Caedus had taken less than seconds to do the math with Zorko. He was as self centered as the sith order itself. If he was truly devoted to the alliance then perhaps those few hundered lives could be look past, however that was unlikely. This man would have to earn the trust of the Alliance, but in order to do that, they must earn the trust of the Jedi Order.

"Because, oh Jedi, I said I support the New Republic, but I didn't say I ws a member. I was low on supplies, and it was believed that those freighters could replenish my stock. Any ship is fair game."
"Sir! called one of his crewman "The Alliance shuttle is returning!"
"Deploy a couple of X-wings and TIE Defenders. Screen them."
5 X-wings and 2 TIE Defenders left the Black Claw's hangar and streaked among the Alliance ships.

The Alliance shuttle continued to head forwards and already two squadrons of A-Wings was approaching to begin escorting the shuttle, the fastest ships in the fleet. But with sensors now showing another deployment by the Pirates which appeared to be on an intercept vector, X-Wings were deployed to join up with the A-Wing Squadrons and escort the shuttle, possibly defend it too. Meanwhile, the shuttle was broadcasting on all channels it possibly could the diplomatic mission code, indicating they were neutral and not to be fired upon by galactic law.

Dan's ships approached the shuttle, each gave a little waggle of their wings as they approached the shuttle.
OOC: Sorry, I'd do more, but there isn't really much to say right now besides that.

OOC: That's fine, i can continue from here Btw, is the Mandalorians or the Remnant engaging the pirate fleet atm? IC: The Shuttle continued onwards in it's path, finally being reached by the A-Wings. Relief flooded those on board when the pirate fighters tipped their wings heading past, showing no intent of engaging the transport. This was good but the problem being that two sides were now trying to engage the pirates, if they attempted to shoot down the fighters, the transport could get hit or some of it's escorts in the crossfire.

ooc: Actually neither is attacking at the moment. We have a problem, there is no motive to attack anyone yet, that is, if you want a war.
Standing on the bridge now,Delso could not believe his eyes. If the pirates were aiding the Alliance, then.... He pondered the thought, then opened comm channels with the Alliance shuttle. The comm began to buzz
"Alliance Shuttle this is General Delso of Flagship Omen. You must identify your situation with this pirate skum at once."

The Admiral opened comm channels as well, but to the Mandalorian flagship. "Omen this is Remnant Admiral we have confirmed our position and our defenses are set to fire upon the enemy. I have sent word of our misfortune to Xizar himself. Our main battlefleet is on route as we speak." The Admiral felt sure of their chances even if the GA decided to join in the fray. THe Remnant had an entire fleet on its way and he was sure that the Mandalorians had more than a few tricks up their sleeves.

OOC: Do you want me just to have one of my pilots get twitchy and shoot at one of the imperial ships?s

OOC: I suppose you could engage the Imperial Fleet if you wanted, but the warning shots might give purpose for someone to start a fight anyway The shuttle did not respond to the Mandalorian flagship, the negotiations were now over and the diplomats were returning to the Republic Fleet. With the escort now being joined in by X-Wings, they should have a good chance of making it back in one piece, although the situation with the pirate fleet was becoming unnerving. On Onderon at the Trenton Barracks, word came in that the Home Fleet would be heading to Onderon to relieve them. This was now going to be a matter for the top brass from Coruscant. Meanwhile, an Ion Cannon which had been quickly set up on Onderon now began to fire three warning shots in the direction of the Mandalorian and Remnant Fleets. Although the ion shots would die out before reaching their targets, it would show them that the Republic meant to hold out and not to attack the transport. Same for the pirate fleet which was amazingly close to the Ion Cannon by hiding next to the defending fleet.

As the ion shots passed Dan's fighters, one of the X-wing pilots flinched in suprise. As he flinched, his finger accidently hit the trigger, and a salvo of shots were let lose in the direction of the Mandalorian and Remnant Fleets.

Seeing the laser fire go ahead of the transport, the escorting starfighters immediately radioed for help and to state that they were under attack. Starfighters were launched and headed towards the transport. Unfortunately, the laser fire had come from behind the transport, making the pilots believe that Mandalorian or Remnant starfighters were approaching. Because of this, new shots from the Ion Cannon were sent towards the Mandalorian and Imperial Fleets again, to halt any larger warships from approaching. Meanwhile, the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer which was now the flagship for Republic Ships in the region began to turn it's guns, aiming towards the nearest enemy fleets. Luckily for the pirates, they now seemed to be on the side of the Republic, with a Jedi apparently on their flagship and their starfighters also escorting the shuttle towards the Republic Fleet.

Delso waited incredibly patiently for an answer to his demands, but found none. He was about to resend his message when strands of laser fire came close to hitting his front ships and fighters. Fools. they think that they can defeat us in a system that has been ours for the last five millenia
"All batteries forward. Restrain the fighters. I want to damage them with the long guns. At this distance none of their shots will mean firfec. Fire!" he said turning slowly. The main fleet should be here shortly for us as well as the remnant, assuming the skum werent lying.
"Send message to the Remnant. Fire at will."

Sadow shook his head. So it begins here. The beginning of the end for the long susteined peace that the galaxy had enjoyed. He glared at Zorko.
"Our ally indeed...... You have just cost the Republic millions of lives. There can be no victory here. The Alliance may give you support, but you do not have the support of me or my order. I'll be taking my leave Zorko.....you may pray that Luthor and Xizar do not convice the sith to join them."
With that he turned on his heel and walked toward the door that lead off the bridge to the turbo lift.
